Temperature Calibration / Sensor Drift
Thermostat temperature reading is consistently higher or lower than actual room temperature
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Aging NTC sensor on main PCB, Thermostat installed near drafts or heat sources, Incorrect temperature offset setting, Heat from internal electronics affecting sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No high‑voltage work is required for calibration.
- Step 1 – Verify with reference thermometer:
- Place an accurate thermometer near the thermostat and wait 15–20 minutes.
- Compare readings.
- Step 2 – Adjust temperature offset:
- In thermostat settings, locate Temperature Calibration/Offset.
- Adjust the offset up or down to match the reference thermometer.
- Step 3 – Check installation location:
- Ensure the thermostat is not in direct sunlight, near exterior doors, or above electronics that emit heat.
- Relocate if necessary.
- Step 4 – Replace thermostat if sensor is badly drifted:
- If large offsets (>3–4°C) are required or readings are unstable, the internal sensor may be failing; replace the thermostat.
